Thanks, Madam Chair, and thanks for that explanation. So, yeah, I get that. The last time I looked, I think the consumer price index for Yellowknife was about 7.8 percent or something. And I don't know what it is across the NWT. But, you know, I just don't see any allowance here for any kind of an increase for community governments in terms of inflation. No forced growth. How does the department ensure then that the communities are able to, you know, use -- or, you know, make up the -- provide the programs and services and do the infrastructure replacement if the money that they get from MACA's not increasing? Thanks, Madam Chair.
